Summary
Jason Wade is an East End boxer-turned-police crime scene investigator. He likes his job, has a good circle of friends, and is never short of female admirers. But although on the outside his life looks an enviable one, behind closed doors, he has more than one secret hidden away.
When a female body is dragged from the Thames, the skeletons from Jason's past quickly begin to resurface, and his near-perfect life slowly begins to spiral out of control. But when a second victim is pulled from the Thames with amnesia, Jason questions if the two accidents are related to each other.
With none of his colleagues believing there is a link between the two incidences and ordered to stay away from the case by his boss, will investigating these seemingly unrelated cases lead Jason to his own downfall? And how many of his friends will he take with him?

Fast paced thriller /mystery/ detective story
This was an interesting listen. The story is quite good and moves along at a good pace, although there are a couple of illogicalities in the plot which spoilt it a little. I won't write a spoiler here. I did have some issues with the narration though. There was not nearly enough distinction between the various characters' voices, so it was difficult at times to know who was supposed to be speaking. And the narrator definitely needs to work on his Scottish accent, which sort of occasionally came and went as Tav was speaking. No accent is better than half an accent. I thought the ending was a bit of an anti-climax - whether the author is saving it for a sequel, I'm not sure. One question also remains unanswered - what happened when Jason went home and went into the bathroom?

Gripping story well read
I was led on through the book by story. It was enhanced by the reader whose voice and intonation made the listening experience very enjoyable.

Effective beautifully narrated crime thriller
This was a very effective and listenable crime story. I really enjoyed the London setting and Christmas backdrop. The characters good and bad were believable and affecting, the action often fast-moving and exciting. The voice of the narrator is perfectly modulated and spot on, not a false note anywhere. Indeed this voice could not have suited the London milieu better.

Excellent exciting story
I thoroughly enjoyed this book. I loved the London setting - very recognisable. An exciting story. The narrator clearly has a fondness for London and was totally the right person for the job. His characterisations were excellent. I recommend this book by this narrator.

A fast paced thriller
This is a fast paced thriller with plenty of action, intrigue and mystery. Jason, the main character, is a bit of a maverick with a mission concerning his sister's death and when a woman was almost killed in what he sees as similar circumstances, he can't help investigating despite nobody else believing in him. The story moves along at a good pace and keeps the reader hooked. I'll certainly be looking out for the next book in the series.
I listened to this as an audiobook and I have to drop a star for the performance as while the narrator did an ok job, it was, for the large part, read in almost a monotone with little inflection in some of the conversations. There were multiple places where the reader/listener would assume the conversation was heated, loud and angry but was read as though they were discussing whether to have tea or coffee or what flavour pizza to order.
I received a free copy of this audiobook either from the author and am voluntarily writing an honest and unbiased review.

Good crime thriller
This is not usually the genre of book I listen to but I enjoyed 2 of Donna’s other audiobooks so much I gave it a go. I was pleasantly surprised I enjoyed it as much as I did . Jason Wade used to be a pro boxer now he’s a CSI for the police . He’s getting over the death of his Sister when another girl is pulled from the river with amnesia and Jason starts wondering if they are linked. Jason looks into the case and it fast begins to take over his life. I enjoyed the narration by John P Gowing .

Thriller
I really enjoyed listening to John P Gowing, perfect for this great thriller.
This is a fast paced mystery with a lot of emotion and twists and turns. Jason Wade is a man on a mission and doesn’t let anything stop him.
A girl who was pulled from the river. Suspense, mystery, and twisted thrill rides into the unknown.
I enjoyed the action and drama. Great storyline.
